I was delighted to be invited to help launch a new exhibition at the National Museum of the Royal Navy at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard last night. 'World Beneath the Waves' celebrates the Challenger Expedition of 1872–76 which is regarded as the birth of modern oceanography - but the exhibition also looks at modern ocean exploration as its legacy 150 years on - including displaying the first 'Boaty McBoat Face', the most famous ROV in the world!
The exhibition has been developed by the National Oceanography Centre British Antarctic Survey UK Antarctic Heritage Trust and HMS Protector but particular congratulations to Diana Davis and team for such a great job.
